Breakfast for today!

Breakfast for today, Friday October 1-2010!

Migas is one of those dishes traditionally made by each household to utilize the leftover tortillas after the day is done. The following day those tortillas were usually a bit hardened which made for perfect "Leftover bits" or as we called them around our house...Migas

My recipe for migas:

1. Four corn tortillas diced..

2. chopped onion as desired

3. chopped cilantro as desired

4. jalapeno peppers diced to taste...

5. olive oil to grill all ingredients

6. four eggs

7. Sometime I'll grill and add some Italian sausage or chopped ham or bacon...

8. cheese of your choice (as much or little as you like)

9. salt/pepper to taste

In a pan place some oil...start out with small amount and add as needed. When oil is hot add tortillas, onion peppers and grill as much or little as you like. (Prefer mine crisp) next add eggs, cilantro, pepper, salt to taste. Last add crumbled cheese. Sometime I'll use mozzarella, other times I'll add some goat cheese or just cheddar whichever is in my fridge...



Hot coup of coffee and you're set.

Enjoy
(Migas are a traditional dish in Spanish cuisine. Originally eaten as a breakfast that made use of leftover bread or tortillas, today migas are a fashionable first course served for lunch and dinner in restaurants in Spain.^[1] Some historical sources associate the origins of this dish to North African couscous.)

The ingredients of migas vary across the provinces of Spain. In Extremadura, this dish includes day-old bread soaked in water, garlic, pimentón, olive oil, and contains spinach or alfalfa; often served with pan-fried pork ribs.^[2][3] In Teruel, Aragon, the migas include chorizo and bacon, and are often served with grapes.^[4]

Hope you'll have a great Friday
